It's alot cleaner now. I had the entire engine bay completely detailed at the dealership. The pics up top were taken when i first finished it. It could be better, but I've been pulled over several times and each local auth. couldn't figure it out, so they thought it was stock LOL! let me go. Plus, my car isn't loud until WOT.

I know with our trucks (again maybe different, but application is the same), hearing/seeing them idle is a terrible thing...it's just a way to keep the heat on or the AC col to me. But to each their own; if it works for you, sweet. I know with me, I warm it up for 30-45 seconds in the morning, drive it normally, and go from there. It's not like track cars get 10 minute warm ups. I agree. The bay you posted is awesome. Dead stock looking, OEM+

Some key things IMO; * Heatshield for tubular manifold ~ Hard to sell as OE because of its shape. * FMIC Piping ~ Painted piping and Aluminum parts just gives it out. I know it sucks but CALI is just like that. Last edited by GroundPerformance; 05-15-2011 at 01:35 AM.. |

Haha yeah, I drive like a granny most of the time, usually keeping within the speed limits.
But, I don't mind taking it up to 4k-5k rpm, with the occasional partial throttle 5psi boost on the freeway to get up to speed quicker. I drove it 200 miles non-stop with the A/C on a few days ago to pick up my sister from her university, it idled just as it did that afternoon when I got back. I've done that about 3 or 4 times with this car, didn't skip a beat. |
